State-of-the-Article
Eric Reuland on Anaphoric dependencies:
A window into the architecture of the language system
''The literature on long-distance anaphora exemplifies our main
concern in this article: are all relations between anaphors and their
antecedents essentially of the same nature, or do we have to allow for
differ-ent strategies in the grammatical system broadly conceived?''
The Theory And A Language (tTAAL)
Moira Yip on What phonology has learnt from Chinese
Moira Yip's article is the first in a new series, The Theory And A
Language (tTAAL TAAL). In this series we highlight the fruitful
interaction between investigat-ing particular languages and the
development of theory. Each article in the tTAAL TAAL series will shed
light on both sides of the coin. What have we learned about a
particular language that we would probably not have learned without
theory? And: How has the study of a certain language contributed to
the development of the theory. Forthcoming articles in the series are
on Hebrew, Japanese and Irish.
Column
Recent issues in linguistics
Elan Dresher on A moment in Western culture:
World music, postmodernism, and syllable structure
''Does it follow, then, that influences from music and furniture
making make themselves felt in the pages of Glot International? Based
on the above observations, the answer must be yes. Our sense of what
consti-tutes a satisfying explanation derives not just from
linguistics.''
